Culturally, in northern Kenya, persons with disabilities are viewed as a curse, unproductive and therefore a burden to the society. They grapple with challenges of stereotyping and exclusion from the mainstream society. This community is poor in every sense, unrepresented and without a voice. They suffer twice as much due to the challenges of the horrifying terrain, the marginalization, constant conflicts, harsh climatic conditions and the nomadic culture of inhabitants of the region.
We will always welcome an opportunity to discuss NONDO further with you. |
